Japan Cupid is an online dating site where you can look for friendship, love, a penpal, or a romantic date. It offers various ways that can help you connect with other singles.

However, some of its contact features are locked for Standard members. So for an online dating journey with no restrictions, you may want to subscribe to a premium membership and use all the features that come with it.

But then again, Standard members can still initiate contact with others through Japan Cupid's free contact features, like showing interest, adding members to favourites, and commenting on photos.

Just by browsing the profiles of some of the members of Japan Cupid, you can already get a glimpse and know them a little. This is because most of the profiles are detailed, and the information is organised. Some of the personal details include body art, best feature, occupation, employment status, income, as well as Japanese and English language ability.

Aside from that, the information on members' profiles can be translated. This means easy and convenient reading, especially to those who prefer a language other than English.

Real Life Review

"I have no time to mingle with women. I spend most of my day working. In fact, I rarely go out to socialise and meet women. One afternoon, I got a call from my friend. He told me that he set me up on a blind date. As much as I wanted to go for that kind of thrill, I didn't have time to meet the unlucky woman because I had an emergency meeting with a client. While I was driving home after that meeting, I realised that I needed to start dating if I didn't want to end up being alone. But with my busy schedule, how is that even possible?

Then online dating crossed my mind. However, I was skeptical at first because I thought it would be a desperate move. Then again, I realised that it would be convenient and as exciting, I believe, as dating women in person. I searched for dating sites and when I saw Japan Cupid, I signed up. I saw lots of gorgeous women

I've been using Japan Cupid for more than a month now, and I have been in constant contact with an interesting woman. Actually, we plan to meet this coming holiday, and the thought of it makes me excited. Japan Cupid made dating convenient for me. I'm glad I signed up." - Corporate lawyer (34)

Design and Usability

Japan Cupid dating website's design is basic and uncomplicated. It doesn't use striking colours. The site is dominated by the colour blue with a touch of magenta and green. The font used is also unfussy. This makes everything on the site readable.

Also, because there are no overwhelming graphics as well as unwanted pop-ups, users and visitors can focus on reading without being distracted. The website is also easy to navigate and its pages load properly.

Is Japan Cupid expensive or cheap?

Once the subscription expires, it will automatically be renewed. This is for your continued access to paid features and for your uninterrupted communication.

Editors Conclusion

Japan Cupid is intended for Japanese singles who are looking for love and friendship as well as for others who would like to know more and date Japanese individuals. Japan Cupid also welcomes people without Japanese blood. However, because this website can be accessed using just made-up emails, you ought to be cautious about who you contact or exchange messages with. One way of making sure that the other person is actually legit is through the verification badge that is displayed on the profiles of verified members. If you're interested in meeting and dating someone who has a Japanese background, sign-up and be one of the hundreds of thousands that Japan Cupid connects.
